Noynoy Fantasy or Reality?

How many of you remember the elections of 2004? Do you remember a guy running for president who had no business running based on his qualifications? He was controlled by unseen strings because the whole campaign was not solely his idea.He was thrust as his party's "standard bearer" not because of merit or achievement or leadership or competency in the political arena or qualifications. He was there for one thing and one thing only. "Winnability"

The idea that this is plausible should be an insult to every red blooded Filipino who gives a damn. Granted there is one little problem. It's happening now.

The spin doctors and campaign managers understand the election landscape. Believe me they don't see Rhodes Scholars and Mensa members.


I will give you two columns and if you are paying at all to the election rhetoric tell me which column (A or B) is the fantasy column and which is the reality column.


A.
Governance
Leadership
Intelligence
Political Savvy
High Brow
More IQ

B.

Low Brow

Magic
No Experience
Superficial

Leaning on Legacy of Others
No Intrinsic Direction





If you really gave this some honest thought, be afraid, be very afraid.
